Probing the problems of viruses, Trojans, and cyberweapons as a whole for the
last 10 years was the theme of hundreds of articles and dozens of noteworthy books.
As it stands, the problems of the hardware Trojans in the integrated circuits received
full-fledged investigations in the books: Mohit Arora «The Art of Hardware
Architecture Design Methods and Techniques for Digital Circuits»; Mishra,
Prabhat, Bhunia, Swarup, Tehranipoor, Mark M. «Hardware IP Security and
Trust»; Bhunia, Swarup, Tehranipoor, Mark M. «The Hardware Trojan War»;
Tehranipoor, Mohammad, Wang, Cliff «Introduction to Hardware Security and
Trust»; Sadeghi, Ahmad-Reza, Naccache, David «Towards Hardware-Intrinsic
Security»; Tehranipoor, Mohammad, Salmani, Hassan, Zhang, Xuehui Integrated
Circuit Authentication Hardware Trojans and Counterfeit Detection, and others.
There already exist quite a lot of new publications, dedicated to these problems.
The authors of these works are indeed the authoritative and acclaimed by the world
community researchers in the sphere of cyberweapons and hardware Trojans in the
integrated circuits. Thus, the various individual aspects of the complex problem of
cyberweapons were scrupulously considered in the publications: Paul J. Springer
«Encyclopedia of Cyber Warfare»; Yager, Ronald R., Reformat, Marek Z., Alajlan,
Naif «Intelligent Methods for Cyber Warfare»; Sushil Jajodia, Paulo Shakarian,
V. S. Subrahmanian, Vipin Swarup, Cliff Wang «Cyber Warfare Building the
Scientific Foundation», and others.
However, basically all these works are devoted to the comprehensive description
of the individual specific concepts, methods, means and technical solutions of
cyberwarfare, applicable to the different situations, but so far there is a lack of
fundamental works, dedicated to the detailed description of the interaction mechanisms of components of cyberweapons and analysis of the peculiarities of their
application at the system level. For in the modern cyberoperations the viruses,
software and hardware Trojans act en masse, fending off, and complementing each
other in compliance with the sophisticated algorithms, developed by their creators.
Figuratively speaking, this is equally potent to representation of the detailed
descriptions of only solitary trees, which compels the reader to apply strenuous
efforts in viewing the picture of the forest in its entirety. Therefore, in the proposed
for the reader’s attention book, an ambitious attempt has been undertaken to
systematize all known descriptions and creation of description of the most complete
possible picture of such a “forest” (cyberweapons), comprising individual “trees”
(concepts, methods, and means of offense arrangement and thwarting attacks).
Naturally, any few co-authors, however, encyclopedic their knowledge might be
and with a gigantic prowess are physically unfit to cope with this magnitude
adequately.
Here, the authors deem it expedient to say some words about their motivation,
methodology, and the history of creation of this book.
At the moment of writing this book, the authors are CEOs of the large electronic
Holding «Integral» (Minsk, Belarus) with the annual portfolio of over three thousand types of ICs and hundreds of types of electronic devices and systems. For
instance, the countries of the South-East Asia have the annual deliveries of dozens
of millions of IC chips for the mobile phones. In production are hundreds of types
